About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. For a summer wake in Hackbridge, there’s light until about 9:20pm, so a garden gathering works well.

Hackbridge: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at St. Mark's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Could you cook in Cranmer Green?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Is a week’s notice enough?
We do our best at short notice. Send the date and venue and we’ll reply promptly.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can you serve on plates?
Either: rolls for a simple meal, plates with salads and potatoes for a fuller one.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you cater at home?
Most places, with an outdoor spot for cooking.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Keep the alternatives labelled
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
We set up quietly and start the roast early, well away from the entrance.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Some families mix a hog roast with cakes brought by friends. Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Why us?
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- No surprises: everything in writing
See our pricing and our hog roast cost guide.
